Missile vehicle

Long missiles are commonly transported parallel to the ground on these vehicles, and then elevated into an inclined or vertical position for launching.In turn, the United States produced the T34 Calliope missile-launching vehicle in limited quantities by attaching a multiple-missile battery atop an M4 Sherman.[6] These multiple missile batteries are also pivoted upwards for launching and the launcher in some cases can be rotated around on the chassis (or platform) of the truck.[7] The M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System, used in the United States and several other countries, uses a tractor crawler drive instead of conventional pneumatic tires.Other examples of Soviet MRLs include the BM-21 Grad, BM-27 Uragan, and BM-30 Smerch, which use pneumatic tires and tubular missile canisters and are also used by various other countries.
